Bell and Howell Enduro Overview:

The Enduro inserting system will operate at speeds up to 11,000 envelopes per hour, depending on the configuration. These processing speeds make the Enduro inserting system a formidable solution for operations that process high volumes of one- to multiple- page, statement-type jobs in any environment where numerous applications are run on a regular basis.

Based on BÖWE BELL + HOWELL’s industry-renowned gripper-arm inserting technology and powered by the KOMPOS control system, the Enduro inserting system represents a new evolution in inserting technology.

Thanks to the integrated KOMPOS microprocessor and its plug-and-play design, the Enduro inserting system bring a new level of modularity to BÖWE BELL + HOWELL’s proven gripper-arm inserting technology. This opens the door to a broad and diverse range of add-on modules that can easily be integrated with the base system, including BÖWE BELL + HOWELL’s new line of dual-channel and cut-sheet feeders.

These modules, each with their own KOMPOS controller, communicate continously with the operating system to ensure complete mail piece integrity while improving performance levels by up to 40 percent on certain applications.

The Enduro inserting system features an integrated, intelligent learning technology known as Smart GRIP (Grip Remember Inform & Pull). With Smart GRIP, operators can activate a “teach” command through the user interface. In this mode, the gripper arm “reads” an insert, “remembers” the reference values and “reports” the thickness of the enclosures to the operating system.

As a job proceeds, each of the enclosures is compared to the stored values, and any processing errors—such as double pulls or misses are immediately identified. Since the operator can set the job to automatically bypass the mailpiece, use a backup enclosure feeeders, or stop for inspection integrity is enhanced and throughput maximized.

In addition to Smart GRIP, the Enduro inserting system offers pneumatic gripper arms. The pneumatic gripper arms, which can replace or be used in conjunction with the standard gripper arms, greatly increase the Enduro’s performance when processing difficult materials.

The Enduro inserting system may be configured with up to 24 insert stations. All enclosure feeders can be pneumatic, standard or any combination of both.

Additional improvements to the Enduro inserting system include:

Intelligent tracking throughout the document path

High-capacity envelope loader and high-capacity insert feeders

A redesigned insertion station

A new operating system and user interface

A high-volume, on-edge output conveyor

One system, multiple uses

The Enduro inserting system is built on BÖWE BELL + HOWELL’s modular design philosophy. This unique approach allows each system to be configured based on a customer’s specific requirements while affording the flexibility to add new capabilities as those needs evolve.

There are currently more than 100 paper-handling modules that can interface with the Enduro inserting system, ranging from roll feeders and continuous-form cutters to sheet feeders and heavy-duty folders. This multi-tool approach offers a greater freedom to process a growing number of jobs and enclosures while protecting their initial investments in technology.

Enhanced document integrity

To supplement the Enduro system checks for document tracking and integrity, BÖWE BELL + HOWELL’s VEKtor reading system can be added throughout the inserter. With VEKtor in place, barcodes can be read at the feeder and inserts verified in the hopper to ensure everything matches before continuing through the system. With VEKtor any code symbology is supported including the Intelligent Mail Barcode (iMB).

Performance that makes every page a reflection of your business. With the Océ VarioPrint DP Line, you can consistently produce high-quality prints on a wide range of media across jobs, systems, and time.

Stability and reliability

One of the hallmarks of professional-quality printing is text and images that look and feel the same throughout every job, day after day and run after run. The new Océ VarioPrint DP Line uses Océ DirectPress technology to ensure consistent, high- quality printing on a wide range of media. The result is predict- able, o set-like output without streaks, striping, or banding— work that satisfies customers and keeps them coming back.

Great output on a wide range of media

Océ DirectPress technology uses a low fusing temperature that allows you to print on a wide range of media. The image is pressed directly onto the paper, so you can use structured
or textured stock.

Advanced active registration

Duplex printed documents predominate today’s monochrome print market, and customers know that tight registration is a sign of quality printing. The Océ VarioPrint DP Line features an intelligent, sensor-controlled process that enables tight front- to-back registration. This helps ensure that you can handle the high-visibility, quality-intensive jobs that your customers need.

Black and white in a colorful world

While most documents today are created in color, not all need to print that way. But then not all black-and-white printers handle color files well, either. The Océ VarioPrint DP Line uses Océ ScreenPoint technology to reproduce color halftones and photographs as grayscale images with excellent resolution, dense black fills, and precise fine lines. Plus, you can adjust contrast and control darkness and lightness, without sacrificing any detail, so every image is sure to live up to your customers’ expectations.

Ease of Use

Operators get intuitive workflow for immediate control and management of even the most complex jobs.

Built for user-friendly operation

Today’s customers expect better response and faster turnaround, and the VarioPrint DP Line helps make this happen. The operator panel combines the controller, user interface, and engine in one integrated concept. Its large touch-screen interface makes buttons a thing of the past, minimizing learning curves and reducing time and money spent on training. With the intuitive, modular interface, operators can perform a variety of functions effortlessly.

Efficient production management

PRISMAsync makes handling complex print jobs easy. The unique user interface with intelligent job Scheduler displays every queued job and an overview of the day’s work schedule. Jobs can be quickly rearranged as your needs or priorities change. An intuitive, visual interface groups jobs into a logical order by media type and displays up-to-the minute completion status. Visible from a distance, the Operator Attention Light displays the status of the printer. It signals upcoming operator interventions, such as media and consumable refills, giving you time to avoid interruptions in production.

A single operating concept on all black-and-white and color printers driven by Océ PRISMAsync simplifies job handling for printing, scanning, and copying. This helps reduce training requirements and increases productivity, because operators can spend less time running the press and managing output, allowing the production start to be utilized more effectively.

Advanced job management and editing

With the optional DocBox, advanced document preparation and editing at both the job and page levels can be managed from a single point of control. This enables last-minute changes to a document at the printer, without going back to prepress, thus saving time and money.

Perfect-Fit System

Blend speed, input, finishing, and workflow to design a system that’s the ideal match for your operation.

Performance that fits

With duplex print speeds of up to 135, 120, and 110 images per minute, the Océ VarioPrint DP Line can be easily configured to meet your requirements for printing, scanning, paper input, finishing options, and workflow. And no matter the speed, automatic duplexing is available for all media up to 300gsm. Use it to fit your needs from scanning to printing and intelligent prepress to full, in-line production. Or, replace multiple existing machines with a single, all-digital multipurpose production device.

Multiple scanning options

Monochrome and color scanning capabilities let you offer services beyond black-and-white workflows. One-pass duplex scanner options include Scan-to-File, Scan-to-USB, Scan-to-E-mail, and Scan-to-DocBox, a repository of jobs that provides fast storage and access to jobs that may need to be rerun at a later date. Automated intelligence recognizes photo and text elements on every page, so print quality can be adjusted to deliver optimal results.

Versatile paper feed

Four standard paper trays are conveniently placed under the engine, conserving valuable floor space. An optional four-tray module expands capacity up to 8,600 sheets for hours of unattended production and features air separation and suction feed for productive, reliable feeding. The VarioPrint DP Line offers automatic sheet-size detection in all trays and Océ Paper Logic to help ensure correct orientation of every page. When duplexing, intelligent sensors provide near-perfect registration accuracy to help ensure a high-quality appearance.

Wide range of media

Every print provider wants to be able to use the widest possible array of substrates. Yet many light production printers are not able to run lighter or heavier-weight stocks efficiently. The Océ VarioPrint DP Line can accommodate substrates ranging from 14 lb. Bond to 110 lb. Cover (50—300gsm) in both the internal and the external paper input modules.

Modules for saddle-stitching, stacking, folding, and in-line trimming help you to produce and finish more jobs in-line, without the need for operator intervention. This shortens the time needed to complete a job and helps you to meet even the tightest deadlines.

Productivity

Productive printing is more than just speed. System availability, reliability, uptime, and efficient media handling all play a part.

Consistent performance that lets you do more

While some systems almost grind to a halt when printing on heavy media, the Océ VarioPrint DP Line adjusts for different- weight media on the fly, so you can count on nonstop performance with high print quality. Océ EnergyLogic measures the fusing requirements of incoming media and adjusts the fusing and print speed to match, so production can continue without interruption for mixed media documents.

Start printing immediately

Océ EnergyLogic also enables the system to start printing as soon as sufficient power is available. The system gradually accelerates until it’s fully warmed up.

Intuitive workflow for nonstop productivity

Océ PRISMAsync provides intelligent job scheduling controls for uninterrupted production and smooth workload planning. The 15-inch, full-color, touch-screen operator panel provides full control for scheduling, printing, scanning, copying, and even advanced job editing. The display shows the complete production schedule, indicating when each job will be finished. It also provides color-coded alerts to inform operators of upcoming requirements, such as toner or media refills, to help keep production moving.

Take control of your press’s uptime

No service call is the best service call. You can increase your uptime by taking advantage of the Printer Operation Care program. Requiring no training, this program allows operators to replace certain parts themselves in an easy and secure way. When service intervention is needed, an innovative service concept helps ensure the shortest turnaround time.
